Courtney Ann Sanford, a 32-year-old acknowledged for her skill behind the wheel, met a tragic end on what seemed like an ordinary day. As she drove, she couldn't resist the joy brought by her favorite song, Pharrell Williams' "Happy," playing on the radio. In a moment of spontaneity, she snapped a selfie and posted it on Facebook with the caption, “This song makes me happy!”
Unfortunately, this impulsive act had devastating consequences. Moments later, Courtney's vehicle collided with a truck at approximately 60 km/h, sending her car careening into a ditch and ultimately crashing into a tree. The impact resulted in her car catching fire, and trapped inside, she tragically lost her life.
Upon learning of Courtney's final Facebook post, her family was stunned by the tragic timing—her post at 8:33 AM preceded the emergency call at 8:34 AM.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of distracted driving. Courtney's story is a sobering testament to the importance of focusing solely on the task of driving when behind the wheel.
